music: Congotronic

The range of styles that huddle together under the loose mantle 'world music' are ones I typically disdain.

As with anything there are exceptions, and hybrids I enjoy, but it rarely moves me.

These cats are different.
Their instruments look post apocalyptic and they play them with an abandon rarely encountered. Whoever thought of electrifying that thumb piano and adding a little fuzz should get a Nobel Prize.

There are three in the series and all the music is recommended.
If you only get one you want volume two, with a bonus DVD that will blow your mind.

Although this is flat-out the greatest title in the history of music.
